The only 'tribute' band I'd pay to see is The Mingus Dynasty...
Sorry, a tribute band playing the tunes of a band that is very much still active...I dunno.
Not saying they're 'wrong' or anything & I'm sure they're very happenin' players...just not my cup of tea...at all!

Yeah 5 dollar cover, compared to 50 dollar ticket, well i think its worth the 50 dollars anyways, DMB is amazing either way ya look at it. Trippin Billies is very close to the real thing. I think thier a cover band, not a tribute band though, sorry my mistake.
